About

My thesis looks at the New York subway as a “third place” where calm, chaos, and chance collide.

Four CG vignettes move from empty dawn stations to rush-hour crunch, mixing typographic grids with procedural crowd sims.

Station geometry is stripped to concrete grey, letting fluorescent flicker and speaker hiss set the mood.

Houdini handled agent behaviour, Cinema 4D lit each scene, and Redshift delivered ACES masters for the Parson's End-of-Year show, where the project received the top motion award.
